A co-worker came into my office yesterday for her sort-of-usual weekly chat which always begins with, “Can I be honest with you…?” and turns into a 1/3 vent, 1/3 nosing, 1/3 taking-a-break conversation. Overall, I actually enjoyed this one. However, at one point, she brought up something that happened last Thursday. See, last thursday, at a meeting, my boss started talking about me and my upcoming bar results, and the employees started asking me questions, and - well - eventually I cried. Not an all-out sobfest like I am prone to having on occasion, but the tears welled up and I couldn’t help it. So, yesterday, my co-worker says, “Ya know, i think it really helped to see you cry last week. I mean, not that we want to make you cry, but I think it showed all of us, ya know, that you are human.”
If crying makes one “human” then I am the poster child for Homo-Sapiens.
